Matthew's new look

during...


before...

Hurrah!!! Matthew is now walking. He is doing a great job of it and we are all so very excited for him. He is able to take about 10 steps more or less. We are in trouble now!

We took him for his first hair cut several weeks ago. I have always waited until the boys are one to have their hair cut. He did very well....not the screaming and flailing that Joey and Ben always did.

Snow Day

Our house.

We had one nice day of snow a few weeks ago. The boys got out in it for a few hours but they didn't last long and nor did the snow. Luckily the neighbors have a sled and the boys were able to use it in the front yard!

Catawba County Crud!

Well I have been out of touch for quite awhile, as Leigh Anne kindly reminded me :)!! We have been SOOOO sick! So far every one of us except Anna has gone down with what we are calling the Catawba County crud! Fever, vomiting, coughing, aches etc etc. I somehow caught the worst of it and ended up with pneumonia - whew! So we are slowly coming back to life. Ben is the last one down....he is on day four of a fever and yucky cough. Hopefully by next week we will all be better. Luckily the weather is amazing and that helps me to feel a lot better. I spent a few hours cleaning up the yard this weekend and also cleaning the screens for our windows. I LOVE to have the windows open, there is nothing like fresh air moving through a house!
